Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Locking and Unlocking the Doors of Railway Carriages.
Inventor: WILSON JOHN HERBERT
IPC: E05B65/36
Filed: 1911-02-17
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 4031. Wilson, J. H. Feb. 17. Pne,ttmatically-operated fastenings. - Each coach of a railway train is provided on each side with a pneumatically-operated cylinder a of the type described in Specification 25,220/10, [Class 122 (ii), Steam engine distributing and expan sion valves &c.], the piston of which operates in reverse directions upon each application of pneumatic pressure. The cylinder a is mounted in trunnions beneath the seats m<2> of the end compartment, and its piston a<5> is connected by means of lever e<4> and links e<1>, e to a shaft d. The air inlet b<2> is connected to the supply-pipe by flexible tubing. The shaft d is provided beneath each door with a curved arm f<1>, which works between rollers g<1>, g<2> on a curved bar g sliding between rollers g<3>. At its upper end, the bar g carries a projection g<10> which acts as the striking-plate of a spring-pressed pivoted latch h<1>, and which is bevelled to allow open doors to be closed when the apparatus is in the position shown. On application of pneumatic pressure, the apparatus is moved into the position shown by the dotted lines, thereby releasing the latches. Reapplication of pressure returns the apparatus to its original position. In a modification, the arm f<1> on the shaft operates the curved bar g through a connecting-link. A lever may be provided on the pivot pin of the lever e<4> or on the end of the shaft, so that the apparatus on each side of the carriage may be placed in similar positions. Other forms of latches, such as those described in Specifications 15,736/07, 26,948A/07, and 6800/09 may be used, and any other suitable means for rotating the shaft may be employed.

Patent GB-191114646-A (GB)
Title: An Improvement in Electrically Driven Clocks or Watchworks of the Primary or Self-controlling Type.
Inventor: RUSHTON THOMAS
IPC: G04C1/02
Filed: 1911-06-21
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 14,646. Rushton, T. June 21 Electric clocks.-In an electric clock &c. of the kind driven by a short spring or weighted arm, the circuit - closing device comprises an arm which is normally supported by a part driven by the clock-train, and which is allowed to fall at intervals upon a pawl engaging the winding- wheel; in the resulting winding movement, the lifting of the pawl by the teeth of the wheel restores the arm to its support. A flexible arm 21, mounted on a spindle 20, is pressed by a spring 28 upon a slotted rim 23 secured to a wheel 7 of the train, the inturned end 22 of the arm engaging with ratchet-teeth 24 on the rim. As the rim rotates, a tooth 24 gradually shifts the end of the arm outwards, until a slot is beneath the arm, whereupon the arm falls through the slot and the spindle 20 is turned. Another arm 19 upon it thus comes into contact with an insulated spring 16 bearing upon the check-pawl 12 of the winding-wheel 2. The circuit thus being closed, the armature 10 is attracted and the driving-spring in the barrel is slightly wound by means of a pawl 9. As the pawl 12 rises upon a tooth of the winding- wheel 2, it lifts the arm 19 and thereby the arm 21, which, when clear of the slot, springs laterally on to the upper surface of the adjacent tooth 24, so that when the pawl 12 falls again, the arm 19 remains held up, and the circuit is broken. The pawl 12 itself or an additional pawl may form one of the contact-members. The spindle 20 forms a stop for the armature, and is cushioned to deaden sound. Fig.3 shows a modification, in which a slotted wheel 29 takes the place of the slotted toothed rim 23. In this case, an arm 31, having a spring-pressed pivoted finger 32 and a stop 34, replaces the arm 21. The driving-spring of the clock may be a spring tensioned longitudinally. In the application to a clock driven by a weighted arm, the pawl that drives the train through a ratchetwheel forms one of the contacts, the contactarm being adapted to fall upon it, and being raised by the pawl as it passes over the teeth of the ratchet-wheel during the resetting of the driving-lever.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Circular Knitting Machines and the Fabric Produced thereon.
Inventor: GRIEVE THOMAS SCOTT
IPC: D04B9/10
Filed: 1912-02-15
Granted: 1912-10-03
Abstract: 3781. Grieve, T. S. Feb. 15. Circular machines.-Relates to attachments for introducing thumb-holes in glove-hands of tubular seamless rib or plain fabric with gauntlets in another kind of rib. The invention is described with reference to machines of the type described in Specification 15,008/00, but is applicable to other types. An auxiliary feed, at which a succession of needles 9 with special butts 10 knit, is introduced at a predetermined stage in the formation of the glove-hand to produce the effect shown in Fig. 7; when the auxiliary thread 3 is cut out a thumb-hole is left. The attachments comprise an auxiliary thread-guide 2, an auxiliary cam 15, and a yarn cutter and trapper 7, 8, all mounted upon the revoluble cam-box 1 and operated by a vertically-sliding platform 16. When the platform is raised sufficiently, it first shifts a lower bellcrank arm 22 of the thread-guide 2 into the full-line position, Fig. 4, thus bringing the thread 3 against the needles. An arm 24 attached to the arm 2 also strikes a lever 25 carrying a block 26, which places the thread 3 against the needles in advance of the arm 2. This thread 3 is then taken by the needles 9 with the butts 10 which are depressed by the cam 15 which is thrust in by the engagement of an horizontal lever 31 with the platform 16. As soon as the thread is taken by the first needle, the trapped end is released from between the trapper jaws 8, 14 by a cam 29 on the platform striking the lower end 27 of the pivoted upper jaw 8. The jaw 8 is held open until the end of the series of operations by a spring latch 35 which drops down on a peg 36. When the arm 22 arrives at the end of the platform, the thread-guide 2 is swung away from the needles by a spring which normally retains it in the out-of-action position, and the thread is thus carried between the trapper jaws. The latch 35 is then caused to release the trapper jaw 8 which comes down on the thread. and the thread is severed between it and a pivoted spring - pressed cutter blade 7. The machine having knitted the hand-portion with the thumb-hole proceeds to complete the glove fabric, and then commences to knit a welt for the next gauntlet. The thumb is attached by hand or otherwise.
